lyrics

LIKE SHAKING HANDS WITH HOWIE MANDEL
I jolt awake half in the bag and hit the pavement
Passed weathered veterans smoking dead eyed
Say son "It's in the blood" But we'll confirm suspicions later
Quick passed the house where the party will one day die.
They told you long ago things to believe in,
now that we’re growing old, dreams aren’t worth dreaming.
I don’t care what they want from me, they can’t take when I have nothing.
Hey guys, it's 2 in the morning And we just got off our shift It's time for drinking
Cause we're choking 40 plus hours, out-classed sorrows
No, we won't shut up, and there could never be enough.
Then the sun came up
They told you long ago things to believe in,
now that we’re growing old, dreams aren’t worth dreaming.
I don’t care what they want from me, they can’t take when I have nothing
I want to live my life up to the elbows in blood,
Not staring out a window.
Frantically scraping for any semblance of self worth.
No we won't shut up, and there could never be enough,
Then the sun came up
